Forward deployed engineer

Embed. Build. Prove.

I sit inside your team and take the last mile. Twenty five years of shipping web platforms, the last few spent making AI systems survive contact with real users, real data and real operations. If you have a pilot that demos beautifully and stalls at integration, that is the work I want.

Three that mattered

CPTO and solution architect

Cleverly

Three years as hands-on CPTO and solution architect on a computerised maintenance management platform. Sensors, IoT telemetry and real-time notification pulled into one operational picture so facilities teams could act on a failing asset before a tenant reported it.

Lead developer, ISO 20121

Jack Morton

Sole developer on an internal sustainability platform for ISO 20121. I liaised across the whole agency to push the mandate and shape a system people would actually use, rather than a compliance form nobody opens twice.

Delivery lead, public sector

Lambeth Council

Public sector delivery for a TfL programme. Microsites explaining the change to local businesses and residents, held to accessibility guidelines, a long browser support matrix and a deployment architecture the council could live with.

Where to go next

Work

The projects, and what they cost to get right

Twenty five years of it. Facilities platforms wired to sensors, public sector delivery held to accessibility law, brand systems for people who count in millions of impressions.

Lab

Tools built to scratch my own itch

Component libraries, a workspace CLI, a home server that behaves like a datacentre, and the agent workflow that keeps all of it documented.

Writing

Writing with a machine behind it

Notes from running the thing. Local inference, self-hosted CI, theming that survives a rebrand, and why most enterprise AI pilots die at the last mile.

Life

Everything that is not the keyboard

Valencia, an old house being taken back to the bones, and an increasingly serious attempt to get good at padel.
